Who’s your hero?
Today, Rachael Ray and Dunkin Donuts celebrated those who serve the American public with the first-ever “Running of the Cups”. Fifty costumed people dressed as giant iced coffee ran through Manhattan delivering coffee and baked goods, paying tribute to police officers, firefighters, nurses, construction workers and train conductors.
At the event, Dunkin’ Donuts and Rachael Ray announced the launch of the Dunkin’ Brands Community Foundation Serving Heroes program, an ongoing program in which customers across the United States can nominate the hero who serves their community, especially in times of crisis. Nomination forms will be available at www.ServingHeroes.com. Each month one hero will have his or her story prominently featured on the website and will be awarded with a year’s worth of free Dunkin’ Donuts coffee. Submissions will be reviewed and selected by the Dunkin’ Brands Community Foundation.

“I’m thrilled to be part of the celebration, and to present $25,000 to the Leary Firefighters Foundation — a cause I personally support — to help rebuild firehouses in New Orleans,” said Rachael Ray. “We know that there are everyday heroes doing extraordinary things everywhere in this country, and the Dunkin’ Brands Community Foundation “Serving Heroes” program is designed to help recognize the hard work and support that these men and women provide their communities.”
There will be many other “running of the Cups” events in other cities in the coming weeks. Find out more about the organization at Serving Heroes and nominate your home town hero!
